Mark IiSne Express Grain Report.
The Mark Lane Express of the 15th,
reviewing the British corn trade of1
the past
week says: The wheat plant is progressing
favorably, and has, as far as can be ascertain
ed, sustained no injury from the recent heavy
rains. At the same time, a dry atmosphere
and some bright cold weather would be very
acceptable to strengthen the seedling plant.
But little progress has been made with thresh
ing of late, as may be seen from the quantity
of wheat marketed during the past week,farm
ers' deliveries showing a decrease of 45,000
quarters on those of the corresponding time
last year. Much of the supply of home grown
grain has also been in poor condition, and
this causes prices to be somewhat irregular.
In Mark Lane there has been very little busi
ness done in English wheat, but in the prov
incial markets the tone has been rather better,
and a moderate amount of activity has pre
vailed. The upward tendency in values for
foreign wheat has received a temporary check
owing to unusuallv heavy importations which
reached our shores last Monday, returns show
ing the arrival of over 111,000 quarters, be
sides large imports of American and Indian
grain. i.
The calculation of sellers have been some
what thrown out to arrivals of Russian wheat
by way of Revel. Should the season continue
mild and Revel remain open, our winter sup
plies may show an unlooked for increase.
Having regard to the fact that Russia is
turning all her available produce into gold to
enable her to carry on the war, apart from the
political considerations the present range of
values for wheat appears to he a safe one.
As far as can be seen, any material change
either way would be the result of political in
fluences.
But even if peace is proclaimed and the
BlackSea ports set free, we could not calculate
upon receiving supplies much before April
So taking all things together, it is doubtful
whether a pacific turn in Eastern affairs would
materially affect prices. It must however be
confessed that this opinion scarcely obtaines
with mfllere. Prices are slightly in buyers'
favor, although not quotably lower, and the
few gales which,have taken place have been to
supply immediate requirements. Maize off
the coast sold,more freely on the spot. Mixed
American eased Blight lyr but a revival in de
mand may occur at any moment, as the stock
of sound corn in, London is very short. Firm
ness characterizes the trade for barley and
oats with small arrivals at ports of call. The
2~*T *5 "V"?5
floating cargo trade has ruled dull for wheat,
and rates have declined.
